smell of mud or wet soil when AC is switched on

My 20 days old Suzuki Estilo (1000 CC) AC is giving the smell of mud or wet soil for two minutes when AC is switched on after a gap of 3-4 hours. There is no smell when heater is on. The problem is more evident when I drove the car through wet roads with water on the road.

Please let me know what could be the reason for this and how to rectify it.
